Preparation and Storage

Background: EGFR

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, also known as ErbB1 and HER1) is the founding member of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation on multiple tyrosine residues. EGFR exon 19 deletions are in-frame deletions occurring within exon 19, which encodes part of the kinase domain. This mutation occurs with a frequency of approximately 48% in EGFR mutant lung tumors. It affects the catalytic domain (amino acids 746-750), and is predominantly associated with non-small cell lung cancer (1). In a metastatic setting, EGFR deletions like aa746-750 are predictors of efficacy of the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (1, 2).
